Great game, let down a little by the ending

Deus Ex is definately a lot more streamlined than the original Deus Ex game in terms of skills and depth. However, that is not to say that the game is lacking: Quite the opposite!
The game has your standard type of "Missions" to complete, allowing you to run and gun (Beware your limited ammunition!) or try and stealth your way through them. There is the melee/takedown option as well, although each use requires the consumption of what looks to be a candy bar (Which are also somewhat rare and take up valuable inventory space).
The plot is fine, if not a little predictable, but the ending is truly where the game lets you down. I won't spoil it, but once you reach it you'll understand why there was a big uproar about it considering the focus on choice throughout the series.
Overall - a very solid game deserving of your time. Just don't expect a revolutionary story out of it!
